Gtk vs VB
After having introduced myself into the wonders of Gtk yesterday, I tried to use what I had learned, and ported an application I wrote when I was still 17, on secondary school, naive, and Visual Basic was still the language of choice (I know, don't ask) to a real operating system, using a real GUI toolkit. If you're interested (don't expect much), go ahead and download it. I managed to get it published in the kijk magazine at the time, though, which I thought of as a major accomplishment. Oh well.
It took me only a fragment of the time needed back then (less than a day now vs. at least a week in 1996). What, Visual Basic is 'Rapid Application Development'? Yeah, right.
